Anti Apartheid |
anti-apartheid is all that i hear\nto separate the colours and break the rainbow sign\nto ask the finest painter to draw a crooked line\nwill only slow the journey to here again another time\nanti-apartheid is all that’s on my mind\ni cannot bear to think of people cast aside\ni fail to see the reason why of colour you must hide\nand why of freedom can’t you sing a song to change the rushing tide\nanti-apartheid is what you must decide\nanti-apartheid is what you must decide\nnow 50 years of science has brought us to the moon\nyet of 50 years of talking of freedom coming soon\nhas taught us nothing but to split and segregate a room\nanti-apartheid is a hope of freedom soon\nif men were of one colour how silly life would be\na regimented army to work a factory\nthat produces daily a gift of boredom given free\nanti-apartheid is what it’s meant to be |
